Do You Have Symptoms of Ovarian Cancer? Did Your Doctor Ignore Your Complaints and Failed to Diagnosis Ovarian Cancer?

I know the title of this blog is bold, but Ovarian Cancer is not the "silent
killer" it used to be decades ago. Many women exhibit signs or symptoms
of ovarian cancer and are frequently told by their doctors that they are
normal complaints or that they are "going through the change",
starting early menopause or it is all in their head and they are depressed.
For some women, that may be true. For many other women, those words lead
to an early death due to an undiagnosed advanced ovarian cancer. Just
ask Gene Wilder, Gilda Radner's husband. Gilda died in 1989 at 42
years of age, due to advanced ovarian cancer. Gilda's abdominal pain,
fatigue and pain in her groin and legs were "caused" by other
issues. Were they? OK, maybe 22 years ago it was harder to diagnose ovarian
cancer but since then, is there any excuse not to suspect or look for
ovarian cancer in a woman that has abdominal complaints, leg pains, a
change in her monthly cycle, heavy bleeding, bloating as well as other
changes that are not normal for the woman?

Gilda and Gene brought ovarian cancer into the spotlight and onto TV years
ago but unfortunately, even now, 22 years later, not many doctors have
listened. Maybe the doctors practicing today do not know who Gilda Radner
was or think that comedians are not to be taken seriously, even when they
are trying to spread the word about a very serious medical problem or
cancer awareness. But the fact remains, ovarian cancer was brought into
the spotlight 22 years ago. Why was it ignored? Why is it still ignored?

Women in the early stages of ovarian cancer may start to have heavy or
irregular periods, bloating, decrease in appetite, abdominal pain, painful
intercourse, mid-cycle bleeding or spotting in between periods, missed
periods, changes in urination pattern or peeing more often, or bowel changes
such as constipation or diarrhea. Unfortunately, many of these symptoms
are ignored or the woman is told she is going through the change or it
is all in her head.

and doctors or gynecologists may ignore. Thank you for your checklist
